“ELECTION”
The International Cartoonists Club CARTUNION invites cartoonists from around the world to take part in
the contest “We are electing.”
Historical experience shows that the election – is not only a formal democratic procedure, but also a great chance to
explore the human nature. Here, at the polling station, you have a chance to watch the clash of amazing characters, to
observe the cowardice and desperate insolence on one side and the civic courage of the other.
In other words, the election is the perfect reason for artists-satirists to roll up their sleeves and take up a pencil or a
computer mouse.
The rules of the contest:
1. Works should be sent electronically to the following address: cartoongallery@gmail.com
2. Picture format: A3, jpg or gif. The resolution should be
sufficient for high quality printing (at least 300 dpi).
3. Deadlines for sending: February 15, 2012
4. The authors of the three best works will be awarded with the Honorary Diploma of the International Cartoonists Club.
5. The organizers reserve the right to publish the submitted drawings
without monetary compensation.
6. Selected works will be presented on the CARTUNION site:
http://www.cartoon-expo.com
We are also planning the traveling exhibition of the best works.
Several countries have already expressed an interest in this collection. Among them are: Australia, France, Canada, China,
Bulgaria, Poland.
